ReceiveFailure - WebServices

[nzpcmad]

The device I am developing on uses CE 4.10. It's current Compact
Framework version is the SP2 upgrade.

I use Visual Studio 2003 and C# for development.

I can access web services no problem from the emulator but on the
actual device I get a ReceiveFailure about one out of every three
attempts. The actual message is "Unable to read data from the
transport connection".

The CPU type is Intel Corp. ARM Xscale.

I have seen some posts about problems with this processor, the CF and
Web Services. Is this still a problem in SP2?

Any fixes , workarounds?

Many thanks

How are you connected?

The device connects using a GPRS card.

Thanks

Are you in an area that has good goverage?
In general when connecting over GPRS you should be prepared to handle
failures like that and repeat requests

Yes - the coverage is pretty good here. I would certainly expect some
errors but not one in every two packets. Any views on the Intel Corp.
ARM Xscale angle?

Thanks
